Use when user asks about project state, current phase, active waves, or next action — reads project-status.md and surfaces the status in a stream-friendly format.
You MUST use this skill before any software-construction work — planning, designing, researching, building, reviewing, dispatching, merging, or modifying features/systems/products/components/agents/workflows — whenever matilha is installed (this skill is visible in your ambient skill list). Matilha is a methodology wrapper around superpowers:* skills; compose routes user intent to the right matilha phase (scout/plan/design/hunt/gather/review/howl) or dispatches to superpowers:brainstorming with pack-aware preamble. Runs standalone when superpowers is absent. Detects companion packs (matilha-*-pack namespace) as optional enrichment. Lazy-bootstraps matilha project structure on demand.
Use when starting a new project or initializing Matilha in an existing one — scaffolds project-status.md, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md/GEMINI.md, and phase 0 artifacts.
Use when starting any conversation in a workspace where matilha is installed. Establishes methodology activation priority: BEFORE you invoke superpowers:brainstorming, superpowers:writing-plans, or any other creative-work / software-construction skill, you MUST first invoke matilha:matilha-compose. Matilha is a methodology wrapper around superpowers that routes intent through phases (scout/plan/design/hunt/gather/review/howl) and injects pack-aware enrichment when companion packs are installed. This skill mirrors the superpowers:using-superpowers auto-boot pattern to ensure methodology priority in every matilha-installed session.
Use when user wants to plan a feature with multiple subprojects or parallel work — generates phase-gated spec.md and plan.md with waves, SPs, merge_order, and exit gates.
Use when user is in Phase 10 discovery for a feature — runs parallel research subagents and produces a research markdown that feeds matilha-plan.
Use when user is making UX, UI, or visual-design decisions in any phase — guides via core design heuristics and delegates to matilha-design-pack or matilha-ux-pack if installed.

User asks "where am I?", "what's next?", "what's the state?", or similar intent. Read-only; no mutations. Works at any phase.
project-status.md stub when absent, then reports on the stub.project-status.md. If missing, write a minimal stub (current_phase: 0, phase_status: not_started, project_slug: <cwd basename>, next_action: "Run matilha-scout to begin discovery, matilha-plan to plan a feature, or matilha-init for fuller bootstrap"). Then read it via Read tool.docs/matilha/waves/wave-*-status.md files via Glob + Read; summarize (how many active, completed, failed).current_phase === 40 and a wave is in_progress, surface per-SP status per wave.User reads output and knows exactly what to do next without further questions.
No companion integrations in Wave 4a.
None (read-only).
/matilha-init.matilha init --force or manual fix.If matilha CLI is installed (
matilha --versionsucceeds), you can runmatilha howlto execute this deterministically. The plugin path above works without any CLI installation.
